Blackjack Game Objective
The object of Blackjack is to accumulate cards with point totals as close to 21 without going over 21. Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 or 11. Other cards are represented by their number. If the Player and the House tie, it is a push and no one wins. Ace and 10 (Blackjack) on the first two cards dealt is 'Blackjack' and the player wins automatically (unless the house ties). If the player wins with a blackjack, they receive their original stake back and win 1.5 times their original stake. If the player wins by being closer to 21 (without going over) than the house, the player receives their original stake back and are paid the same amount as winnings. If the house wins, the player loses their original stake.
A player may stand (see 'Options' below) at any time.
For splitting (see 'Options' below), the player needs to place an additional bet to the amount of the current bet on the hand being split. Split aces are allowed to draw only one additional card. Both Split and Double Down options are available only if the user's casino account balance permits placing an additional bet.

Options
Stand: If the player is satisfied with his hand as it is, he may stand.
Click 'Stand,' and when the dealer completes his or her hand, the hands
will be compared.
Hit: If the player wishes to take another card he may continue
to do so until he either stands or busts (goes over 21).
Double Down: If the player feels he needs one, and only one, more card then he may double his bet and be dealt one more card. This option is only offered on the first two cards, and sometimes on the first two cards after splitting.
Split: If the player's first two cards are of equal point value
(i.e. both kings, both eights etc.), he may split them into two hands. In this event, each card is
effectively the first
card of a new hand, and the player must also make another wager of equal value
to the first for the second hand. So if, for example, you have wagered $25
and you receive two fours, you can split them by wagering another $25, and
you will receive another card on each four, so that now you may have one
hand which is a four and a queen, and another hand which is a four and a
nine. It is now much the same as playing two separate hands, and you must
hit or stand accordingly. The player may usually re-split up to 2
or 3 times if another splitting opportunity arises. Doubling down after
splitting is usually but not always allowed.
Insurance: Insurance is a caution amount (50% of bet) placed against
the dealer's cards; which have higher chances of Blackjack. Whenever the dealer's
first card (open card) is Ace card, he has better chances of getting
Blackjack hence the bets placed can be recovered by way of paying a
caution amount to the house. Whether you win or lose, you lose this
caution amount. If the dealer gets Blackjack and the player has insurance, then the
player would lose only 50% of his amount.
